Okay, I think I have some kind of problem.

I had a dream earlier this year about being a part of a heist. We even were making fake IDs to sneak in. The biggest hiccup in the plan? The fake IDs we were making used the wrong font.

I realized my fellow criminals were writing the card text in arcade-styled font Press Start 2P, when the font was (clearly) Arial or Helvetica. I told them this, and they began switching the font, but for some reason, the software didn't have Arial—but it did have a font called "Arimo".

Sure, in the dream, "Arimo" didn't look all that much like either font; it was just a boring sans-serif font. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than Press Start 2P, and I'm sure the difference wouldn't go noticed during the heist, so forgetting to check for Helvetica, we just went with Arimo.

Now, I'd been woken up before the heist actually happened, but googling it, Arimo is almost identical to both fonts: Arial and Helvetica.

Within a dream, while looking for an alternative for these fonts, my brain somehow regurgitated Arimo, a font name I probably last saw as I scrolled past it when looking for cool fonts on a school Chromebook almost a decade ago, and a font that's honestly a solid alternative to Arial and Helvetica.
